Anniversary limelight chat

Dear All,

Looking beyond the year 2020, How would you think that the world of life science research be? (or rather you want to vision). Please opine considering the present scenario in genomics, biotechnology, nanotechnology etcetera. The best article would be redeemed with a gift.

Yours in Biospot

Celebrating one year

Since its inception, Biospot has had an opportunity to hear the opinions of few researchers in life sciences on more than 12 topics. The aim of Biospot is as simple as an adaption of Immanuel Kant's quotes :

Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.

Biospot hopes you would join this great life science world reach past success through your opinions.

Thank you for your attention

Are we missing something??
Dear All,
With the new frameset for number of genes in Homo sapiens, there has been consistent debate on it till(in ??)recent past. But the question is are we missing something from these numbers of genes???. Now there are other sequencing being done like chicken, dog etcetera. Comment !!!!!
